Winton, Queensland to Charleville, Queensland.


Route:





Still heading South towards home. 


Charleville was a chosen stop-over as it was a 690 kilometre drive. The drive takes a series of highways including the Landsborough through Longreach (Birthplace of Qantas), the Mitchell through Augathella and finally the Warrego Highway into Charteville. 






Once again, Google had not indicated any significant reasons for stopping longer than an overnight stay. Maybe I would prove them wrong!


The caravan park:

(Pet Friendly)
Bailey Bar Caravan Park

  • Fully enclosed camp kitchen
  • Two amenities block with special needs facilities
  • Kiosk and tourist information
